The sequel to the Icon original video: Motorcycle vs. Car Drift Battle – Nick ‘Apex’ Brocha is back and this time he brought his Empire teammate, Ernie Vigil. The two are mounted on a pair of crackling Triumph Speed Triples – built by Roaring Toyz for the sole purpose of going sideways. Over the last year their quest to find the ultimate drifting playground has led them to the rolling hills of High Plains County. Low traffic, perfect asphalt and endless twisties have kept them busy resurfacing roads with their rear tires for weeks. The only problem is the local authorities have had enough. Enter Police Officer Dan Brockett, the only man with the muscle to keep these two in sight. His 550 horsepower Ford Mustang Cobra was built for speed and he’s got a license to use it…

Evo 8 Accident. Almost Totaling the Car and Possibly Death
Posted by admin in Cars on 01 6th, 2012

This storm came out of nowhere. Weather was clear 15 seconds before the video started. I let go of the gas to slow down instead of braking in the beginning of the video.I knew i was driving too fast and braking would not have been a good idea. Beginning of this film is when I pushed the record button on the camera. You can hear me shut off the radio. My wipers aren’t even on yet.
I braked at 00:4 when i saw the accident, only to realize that it was useless so i let go of them completely and regain control.
I got out of the car to check for damage after I drove past the accident area. about a mile down the road. I must have seen at least 15 damaged cars left and right.
Filmed on highway 77 North.
I am NOT on summer tires.
This Evo is a North Carolina car. There are no reasons for me to be on winter tires.
I do not have a crash beam because my IC is too large for one. I am buying a daily driver for winter driving.
Thats not a tennis ball. Thats a Subaru get more g’s ball in the passenger side window
It does have a evo 9 bumper.
My “ricer” with green rims is fully built pushing 500AWHP
Despite the “little” damage that was done to the car, I am very happy that i did not hit anyone or get hit by that semi. My car would’ve been totaled and I might have not been here to post this video.
Drive Safe!

2008 Can-Am Spyder “Motorcycle” Review Test
Read the full motorcycle review at Motorcycle.com. http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/2008-canam-spyder-test-61047.html
We are aware that the Can-Am Spyder isn’t a motorcycle. But regardless of its non-single-track layout, it does have plenty of motorcycle guts and the thrill of the wind in your face, so we had to give it a ride. Or, instead, does one give the three-wheeled Spyder a drive?
